Here's the whole journey — how you find Steve, how you decide to trust him, and what walking with him actually looks like week to week.
You find Steve — a recommendation, a Google search, or a card at the vet.
You look around, read a bit, decide whether Steve feels right for your dog.
Three-minute request or a quick phone call. Nothing's committed yet.
Phone call, free meet & greet at your home, weekly slot agreed.
Regular walks. Photo update after each. Monthly invoice.
Change days, add a walk, book an adventure. Same Steve, same dog, same trust.
Stages 3 & 4 above broken down. This is the bit you'd do this week — takes about a week end to end.
Hit the Book A Walk button and answer a few questions about your dog, when you'd like Steve to walk, and what kind of walks suit you. Takes about three minutes. Nothing's confirmed yet — it's just a request.
Start a requestNo queue, no bots, no auto-replies. Steve reads the request himself — usually the same day. He's looking at your dog's needs, where you are, and whether he can do justice to the slots you've asked for. If he can't, he'll say so.
A proper conversation, usually fifteen minutes. About your dog, your routine, any worries, and what you actually want from a walker. It's also when Steve will say honestly whether he's the right walker for your dog.
Free, no commitment. Steve meets you and your dog at home, the way the first walk will happen. He'll learn the lead, the harness, the door, the routine. Your dog meets him on home ground first — which makes the first walk much easier.
Most clients settle into a weekly pattern — same days, same times. Your slot is yours until you say otherwise. Steve sends a photo after every walk, and invoices once a month by bank transfer.
From submitting your request to your dog's first walk is usually around a week — but it depends on how busy Steve's diary is and how quickly you can be in.
